I'll take $3/day gladly. And there are lots of people who could use that a lot more than me.

It could literally be used on anything else and it would be better than what it's being used on currently. We could burn the cash and gain more use from the ashes.

A few bucks per person would be better than spending it blowing up schools and killing children. If they just took the billion dollars and burnt it, it would be better for everyone overall, never mind spending it on public services or things that would directly help people.

$500, isn't it? Or my math is wrong? How many people in the US make $500 a day? (~180k an year)

Every person. A few bucks. Each day. If you only gave to those who need, that would be more than a few. In fact, it might put back the money that has driven that exact percentage of people into poverty in the first place, like a missing puzzle piece.
